I'm playing Not So Berry and Rose is living in a Appt. Everything is working great until she stepped out to mail a book. Now she can't get back in. She has a baby in there. I tried going to manage world and then back and exiting and repairing but nothing is working. She is locked out but the door is not locked and she lives there. What do I do. I don't know how to use cheats, and when someone tries to tell me it goes right over my head.

Can you get her to travel someplace else altogether and then send her back home and see if the issue persists?Exiting the game and clearing your localthumbscache.package file and the onlinethumbnailcache folder (if present) before relaunching the game may help clear the bugs too.

If all else fails, move household to another lot.

I went to manage world and back. i exited out of game and repaired it. It didn't work. I don't think I tried traveling with her, I will try that. In the mean time I did a save as and went to an older save. I didn't think it would do any good because I save so much. And figured it would be the same way. But the last one (5th) was two sim days before and it was ok. I just made sure I didn't do the same thing in hopes it wouldn't happen again. so far so good. I would have moved but she didn't have a lot of money yet. I couldn't find anything she could afford and still be able to keep everything she has. When I first started playing I never saved and was constantly losing play time because of issues. So I trained myself to save often. That can be a good thing, but not so good in issues like this. I just got lucky I still had one save that would help. Thank you for your help.

The thing is to use "Save As" every now and then, not just regular save. I always use it before something important, if something gets bugged, I can go back to the point all was okay.

@Behappy1st ,Did you try and travel with her to another world? Otherwise, Using cheats is actually very easy. You can do it step-by step:If you’re on PC or Mac do the following:1. Opening the cheat console:To open the cheats console on a Windows PC: hold both CTRL+SHIFT simultaneously and hit C. To open the cheats console on a Mac: hold both CMND+SHIFT simultaneously and hit C. It opens up a white bar at the top of your screen in which can type commands.2. Enabling cheats:In order to enable cheats you need to type the following:testingcheats onPress Enter.Now you can use a bunch of cheats that may help you continue to play with the “bugged” save, rather than moving back to an old one. 3. To teleport:If you can see inside the house, try to hold SHIFT+ left mouse click on the area where you want your sim to go. It should say “teleport here”.See if she teleports back into the house.If it doesn’t work, perhaps moving her and giving the household a lot for free will work. That is, If you don’t mind giving her a free lot. 4. The Free Real Estate and Motherlode cheats :Get her to move to another lot the way you always do. Just before you confirm the place you want her to live in, make sure you have the cheat console open and type:freerealestate onPress Enter.You can move her into any desired house (the lot outline will turn green instead of yellow) and she will keep all the money she currently has. I’d suggest not moving her into a huge mansion yet because she may not be able to pay the bills. Unless you use another cheat to top up the current savings:motherlodePress Enter.That one will add 50.000 simoleons to the household. Just in case they’re stuck for a few bob. ?5. Disabling cheats:Once you’re done with using cheats I would suggest to de-activate the cheats commands by typing:testingcheats offPress Enter.That’s just to avoid conflict within the save. 6. Closing the cheat console.To get rid of the console bar at the top of your screen, select it (as if you’re going to type inside) and hit ESC. Did either of those options work for you?

Which apartment is she living in? I want to see if I can replicate it.

For now, the only thing I can suggest is turn on testingcheats and teleport her inside.

Can you see the furniture in the apartment still? Maybe turn testingcheats on and try to teleport in there?

Sorry just realizing you wrote that you have trouble with cheats. I hope you figure it out!

Sometimes the game be breaking like that, I'm sure you can figure out a storytelling spin for moving apartments.

It's either that or using cheats it seems.

I don't know how to do that. Did you know you have to turn a computer on to use it. Ha Ha.

It's in the art center area. Right of the gym and in the first tower. It's the Apt. on the right in that tower. It's the big one. I forgot the name.

Thats what I was going to do. but she had little money and a lot of stuff. I couldn't find anything she could afford and still be able to keep everything. She had about $20.000. But the Apt. had been redecorated. She had a lot of nice stuff.

I could see everything. She just kept saying she couldn't get in. But she got in and out for the whole time she lived there ok. And she had just stepped out to mail a book steps away. I could even click on baby and go there.
